by Brianna Crandall — August 4, 2014—The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has named alliantgroup as AIA’s Exclusive Partner for Section 179D (the Energy Efficient Commercial Building Deduction) and other corporate tax services. This new agreement expands the current scope of the firm’s tax consulting services and support for AIA members.
By partnering, alliantgroup and the AIA are seeking to provide the greatest value possible to AIA member firms, ensuring architecture, construction, design and engineering firms are taking advantage of every opportunity afforded under the tax code.
A leading tax consultant specializing in government-sponsored tax credits and incentives, alliantgroup offers a number of services for the benefit of architects and AIA members. alliantgroup has reportedly already identified millions in tax savings for AIA members throughout the country through government-sponsored research and development tax credits, and design, export and energy incentives.
For architecture firms investing in design, research, and green building or for those working offshore, the federal government offers substantial rewards in the form of valuable tax savings. With alliantgroup’s guidance, AIA members have reportedly received substantial federal credits for design projects.
alliantgroup says its mission is one of education and awareness—to help industry organizations, U.S. businesses, and the certified public accountant (CPA) firms that advise them take full advantage of all federal and state tax credits, incentives and deductions available to them. The company, whose leaders include a former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commissioner and acting commissioner, notes that the federal government has legislated these powerful incentive programs to help businesses grow and successfully compete both in the USA and abroad. alliantgroup’s headquarters is in Houston, Texas, with offices across the country including New York, Boston, Chicago, Orange County, Sacramento, Indianapolis and Washington, DC.
